Foundation Repair, Crawl Space, Basement Waterproofing, & More in Princeton, NJ

In Princeton, NJ, a homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st due to persistent moisture issues and dampness in their basement. Over time, this problem had escalated, threatening not only their home's foundation but also the valuable items stored in the basement. Our System Design Specialist diagnosed the issue as a need for an improved drainage and sump pump system to efficiently manage the water seeping into the basement area. We proposed a robust solution featuring our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system combined with the reliable TripleSafe sump pump, designed for comprehensive protection against seepage and potential system failures. The installation was carried out by our skilled production team, who efficiently incorporated the WaterGuard system, discreetly placed under the basement floor, ensuring clog-resistant performance. This was seamlessly integrated with the TripleSafe sump pump, a system known for its triple-layer protection against water pooling due to its ability to handle high water volumes and function through power outages with its battery backup.

Visible sinking and spreading gaps across a backyard pool deck had left a Princeton, NJ homeowner concerned about both safety and appearance. What was once a space for summer fun had become a hazard, especially with children and guests frequently walking across the uneven concrete. Wanting a permanent solution that wouldn’t involve tearing out and replacing the entire deck, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for help restoring the space quickly and effectively.

After a thorough evaluation, our System Design Specialist identified soil erosion and voids beneath the concrete slabs as the root cause of the problem. Over time, water had washed away supporting soil, leaving empty pockets under the surface and causing the concrete to settle unevenly. Understanding the need for a durable and non-disruptive repair, we recommended our PolyLevel Foam Injection system to lift and stabilize the sunken sections without excavation or mess.

Our team carefully drilled small holes into the affected slabs and injected high-density polyurethane foam beneath the surface. As the foam expanded, it filled the empty spaces and gently lifted the concrete back to its original level, creating a smooth and even walking surface. The entire process was completed with minimal disruption to the surrounding area. By the end of the day, the pool deck was not only safe and stable but also visually refreshed, ready for many more seasons of backyard enjoyment!

Faced with rising moisture levels in their basement, a concerned Princeton, NJ homeowner began noticing telltale signs of water intrusion, damp walls, a musty odor, and visible condensation. The growing concern wasn’t just about comfort, the homeowner feared the potential long-term effects such as mold growth and structural damage. Realizing that the issue stemmed from a lack of proper drainage support, they turned to Quality 1st in search of a permanent and professional solution.

Our team quickly responded with a thorough inspection, uncovering hidden signs of water seepage and identifying points where moisture was breaching the basement perimeter. After careful assessment, we crafted a tailored waterproofing plan that addressed both current symptoms and future risks. Central to this strategy was the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to capture water at the most vulnerable point, where the wall meets the floor. Complementing this was the installation of our CleanSpace Wall Panels, a durable vapor barrier system that not only keeps the basement dry but also improves its appearance.

With the combined power of WaterGuard and CleanSpace in place, this Princeton homeowner now enjoys a fully protected and dry basement environment. Gone are the worries about mold or foundational issues, replaced instead by confidence in a long-lasting, professionally installed waterproofing system. Thanks to Quality 1st’s proven solutions, this homeowner can move forward knowing their basement is equipped to handle whatever the elements may bring!

A homeowner in Princeton, NJ, reached out to us at Quality 1st after spotting a water-leaking crack in their basement wall. These cracks often bring more than just unwelcome water: they're a persistent source of frustration. Usually attempts to seal these cracks with mortar or sealants fall short, especially when the basement walls continue to shift slightly over time. Upon receiving their call, our team promptly scheduled a home inspection. One of our seasoned inspectors examined the area thoroughly and recommended our trusted FlexiSpan wall crack repair system. Understanding the intricacies of structural challenges that such cracks present, we wanted to offer a solution built to last.

In one of our recent projects in Princeton, NJ, a homeowner was facing a persistent water problem in their basement. The issue stemmed from a water-leaking crack in the basement wall, a common but concerning problem that can lead to extensive damage if left unaddressed. We recommended our FlexiSpan wall crack repair system, a robust process designed to handle such situations effectively. Our team came prepared to provide the reliable fix that the homeowner needed. On the day of the repair, our production team, including a foreman and skilled installers, efficiently set to work. Installing FlexiSpan involves a three-step approach: We first applied a flexible sealant along the entire crack length. Then, we placed a flexible, porous foam strip over the crack to manage any future seepage, and finally, an impermeable membrane was adhered to both sides of the foam, seamlessly directing water down to the perimeter drainage system.

In Princeton, NJ, a homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st because they were frustrated with a perpetually damp and uninviting basement. Although unfinished, the basement's persistent moisture took its toll on stored items and emitted a musty smell that crept into other areas of the home. Our team understood their concerns and promptly scheduled a home inspection to identify the root of the issue. Upon arrival, our sales team conducted a thorough examination, revealing that groundwater seepage was the primary culprit. To address this, we recommended our WaterGuard and CleanSpace systems, both designed to tackle water intrusion effectively. Our skilled production team then arrived on site, led by an experienced foreman. We began the process by installing the WaterGuard sub-floor perimeter drainage system, placing it discreetly below the surface of the basement floor. This smart system channels water seepage away from the foundation, guiding it to the sump pump. Our team took particular care to ensure a clean installation, making sure that the majority of the system was hidden beneath concrete, save for the small wall flange along the perimeter. Next, we set up the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. Its tough, multi-ply liner now acts as a robust barrier, significantly reducing vulnerability to moisture and improving the home's overall air quality by preventing the upward diffusion of humid air. 

In Princeton, NJ, a homeowner faced a common but concerning issue in their home: a musty smell wafting from the crawl space. This unpleasant odor not only compromised the comfort of their living environment but hinted at underlying moisture problems in their home's structural foundation. Aware of the potential for mold growth, wood rot, and increased energy bills, the homeowner reached out to our team at Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. Understanding their concerns and the urgency of the situation, our knowledgeable inspection coordinator promptly scheduled a home visit. Our skilled inspector from the Sales Team conducted a thorough examination, determining that excess moisture was the key issue causing the musty smell and threatening the integrity of the home. To remedy the situation, our inspector recommended the installation of our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. Designed to transform damp, moldy, and dirty crawl spaces, the CleanSpace liner provides a strong and lasting vapor barrier. With its robust 20-mil polyethylene and polyester-cord composition, the system offers superior protection against moisture compared to traditional 6-mil liners. Once the plan was in place, one of our experienced production teams arrived at the home. Led by a foreman and backed by skilled installers, the team meticulously installed the CleanSpace system, ensuring a seamless encapsulation process. 

This homeowner in Princeton, New Jersey noticed their crawl space was attracting musty smells and moisture. A crawl space is supposed to be dry and healthy, not damp and smelly. This can happen when the crawl space is not sealed off from the earth's elements. The dirt and soil in the crawl space become saturated and the water vapor begins to rise into the air.

The homeowner made a call to Quality 1st Basement Systems and our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist who provided a thorough inspection. They suggested the homeowners encapsulate their crawl space.

Our foreman, Heriberto, arrived at the home and began the process of encapsulating the space. He started by removing any dirt and debris, leveling uneven surfaces, and carefully fitting our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System in the crawl space. He secures the CleanSpace in place with drilled-in spike and fasteners. CleanSpace is mold-proof and waterproof and is thick and durable like a pool liner. Not only will this system provide protection against water and moisture, but it will also provide the homeowner with usable storage space!

When the job was complete, the homeowner was satisfied with the results. Not only do they have peace of mind, but they have a usable space for storage!

Water and moisture in a crawl space is never the issue a homeowner wants to experience. This homeowner in Princeton, New Jersey was experiencing a moisture issue in their crawl space. This can happen because the soil around the foundation is poorly compacted and gets saturated during heavy rainfall. This saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure which causes water to seep through the walls and floors. A wet crawl space can have negative effects such as musty smells, pests, increased energy bills, and mold growth.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Greg Louis, was able to provide an inspection and help them find a solution. Upon his inspection, Greg noticed the dampness in the crawl space. Greg suggested they encapsulate the space to seal it from the earth.

Our foreman arrived at the job site and began the installation of the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick and durable like a pool liner. The process is completed by removing any debris in the crawl space and leveling uneven surfaces and fastening the liner with drilled spikes. CleanSpace will protect the crawl space from water and moisture while having a bright and fresh appearance.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was satisfied with the outcome and the professionalism they saw on the job. They were happy to have the issue taken care of before it got worse.

A homeowner in West Windsor, NJ noticed that his allergies started acting up drastically.

Our system design specialist went to the homeowner's home and inspected the crawlspace. Our specialist inspected the crawlspace and asked the homeowner how long it has been since the crawlspace has been maintained. The homeowner told our specialist that he has never acknowledged the crawlspace until now, so our specialist concluded that the moisture and humidity built up over the years, causing the crawlspace to become damp and disgusting. Our specialist also told the homeowner that 50% of the air that we breathe in our homes is from our crawlspaces and basements, so the crawlspace air is filtering throughout the entire home. The homeowner was completely shocked, as he never knew this before. He immediately scheduled another appointment for our specialist, and crew, to come out and insolate the air his crawlspace. 

Our crew installed our SaniDry Sedona Air System to filter the dusty and unhealthy crawlspace air.

The homeowner was midway through renovating her home and decided to wait on waterproofing her basement.

A homeowner, Lucy S., in Princeton called Quality 1^st Basement Systems worried that the dark spots on their basement wall were mold. The home had a cinder block foundation, and there was a musty smell in the basement.

System Design Specialist, Dan McNally, went out to evaluate the home. He was able to asses the problem, determine a solution, and suggested that the homeowner upgrade their present dehumidifier to the SaniDry Dehumidification System. Most dehumidifiers on the market are just not powerful enough to work for the entire basement space like SaniDry. BrightWall wall panels would keep the  humidity and water vapor from passing through the walls into the space, preventing further mold growth. Dan also recommended replacing a window that was leaking water into the basement.

Foreman Jonathan Neira and the Quality 1^st crew arrived right on schedule and quickly had a new window and the BrightWall paneling installed. The SaniDry Dehumidifier was set up to keep the air in the basement clean and dry.

The homeowner is very happy with the bright, clean look of her basement, and the musty smell is now gone. She tells all her friends and family to call Quality 1^st Basement Systems!

A Princeton homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems in regards to flooding in his basement. The flooding occurred during heavy rains. The homeowner noticed that the frequent flooding had caused damage to his wood flooring and the sheet rock on his walls.

Quality 1st Basement Systems diagnosed the problem as ground water seepage.

WaterGuard was attached to a SuperSump Sump Pump to pump the water away from the basement.

To return this basement back into a fully-functional and finished room, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed 1/2 EverLast Wall Panels. EverLast panels are made from inorganic materials (will never grow mold), washable, and completely waterproof. MillCreek flooring was installed to finish the floor of the basement.
